Filipljanima 3
1 Uostalom, braćo moja, radujte se u Gospodinu! Pisati vam jedno te isto meni nije dosadno, a za vas je sigurnije.
Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me, and is a safeguard for you.
2 Čuvajte se tih pasa, čuvajte se tih opakih radnika, čuvajte se te osakaćenosti!
Beware of the dogs, beware of the evil workers, beware of the false circumcision.
3 Jer mi smo obrezanje, mi koji u Duhu Božjemu obavljamo bogoslužje i dičimo se Kristom Isusom, a ne pouzdajemo se u tijelo,
For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;
4 iako bih se ja mogao pouzdati i u tijelo. Smatra li tko drugi da se može uzdati u tijelo, ja još više:
though I myself might have confidence even in the flesh. If anyone else thinks that he has confidence in the flesh, I yet more:
5 obrezan osmog dana, od roda sam Izraelova, plemena Benjaminova, Hebrej od Hebreja; po Zakonu farizej,
circumcised the eighth day, of the nation of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;
6 po revnosti progonitelj Crkve, po pravednosti zakonskoj besprijekoran.
concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, found blameless.
7 Ali što mi god bijaše dobitak, to poradi Krista smatram gubitkom.
However, what things were gain to me, these have I counted loss for Christ.
8 Štoviše, čak sve gubitkom smatram zbog onoga najizvrsnijeg, zbog spoznanja Isusa Krista, Gospodina mojega, radi kojega sve izgubih i otpadom smatram: da Krista steknem
More than that, I count all things to be a loss compared to the far greater value of knowing Christ Jesus, my Lord, for whom I suffered the loss of all things, and count them nothing but refuse, that I may gain Christ
9 i u njemu se nađem - ne svojom pravednošću, onom od Zakona, nego pravednošću po vjeri u Krista, onom od Boga, na vjeri utemeljenoj -
and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own, that which is of the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith;
10 da upoznam njega i snagu uskrsnuća njegova i zajedništvo u patnjama njegovim,
that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, becoming conformed to his death;
11 ne bih li kako, suobličen smrti njegovoj, prispio k uskrsnuću od mrtvih.
if by any means I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.
12 Ne kao da sam već postigao ili dopro do savršenstva, nego - hitim ne bih li kako dohvatio jer sam i zahvaćen od Krista.
Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect; but I press on, if it is so that I may take hold of that for which also I was taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
13 Braćo, ja nipošto ne smatram da sam već dohvatio. Jedno samo: što je za mnom, zaboravljam, za onim što je preda mnom, prežem,
Brothers, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it, but one thing I do. Forgetting the things which are behind, and reaching forward to the things which are ahead,
14 k cilju hitim, k nagradi višnjeg poziva Božjeg u Kristu Isusu.
I press on toward the goal for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Koji smo god zreli, ovako mislimo! I ako što drukčije mislite, Bog će vam ovako objaviti.
Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, think this way. If in anything you think otherwise, God will also reveal that to you.
16 Samo, držimo se onoga do čega smo stigli!
Nevertheless, to what we have attained, let us walk by the same rule, being of the same mind.
17 Braćo! Nasljedovatelji moji budite i promatrajte one koji žive po uzoru koji imate u nama.
Brothers, be imitators together of me, and note those who walk this way, even as you have us for an example.
18 Jer često sam vam govorio, a sada i plačući govorim: mnogi žive kao neprijatelji križa Kristova.
For many, of whom I have often told you, and now tell you with tears, live as enemies of the cross of Christ,
19 Svršetak im je propast, bog im je trbuh, slava u sramoti - jer misle na zemaljsko.
whose end is destruction, whose god is the belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who think about earthly things.
20 Naša je pak domovina na nebesima, odakle iščekujemo Spasitelja, Gospodina našega Isusa Krista:
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ;
21 snagom kojom ima moć sve sebi podložiti on će preobraziti ovo naše bijedno tijelo i suobličiti ga tijelu svomu slavnomu.
who will transform our lowly body into the likeness of his glorious body, according to the power by which he is able even to subject all things to himself.
